Selamat Siang

 

YES! What a challenge that was! The World of Maths Incursion was incredibly fun for all of the students of the Independence Center. Our host, Noah, provided us with very clear instructions and expectations on how to complete so many different maths games and activities. We enjoyed so many different problems that involved numbers, shapes, mazes, animals, puzzles and much, much more! 

 

The main lesson we learnt was how important it is to exercise our brains to build our mental stamina. We also talked about the importance of how making mistakes and failing can actually lead to success. It was magnificent how all the students displayed the character strength of bravery, perseverance, curiosity, leadership and love of learning. 

 

Last but not least, we want to thank all the parent helpers who gave their time to help us solve challenges and to exercise our brains!

 

Have a great week!
